But his most celebrated accomplishment to date is his participation in the creation of the Curriculum Open-Access Resources in Economics (CORE), a collection of high-quality resources written by 23 economists from across the world. He also researches and develops economic forecasting processes, assessing the likelihood of certain geopolitical events based on predictions about the economy. Today, memories of past discrimination inform his work in microeconomics and game theory, with applications to inequality, crime, communication, and finance.
That interest stayed with him when he moved to New York City to attend The New School, where he received his doctorate in 1993. “From that time, I have thought about stereotypes and identity - how people make inferences from physical cues and the beliefs they form from these cues.” “I was suddenly a minority and sometimes not treated well,” he says.
